Do the Corona Old Boy lighters live up to the hype and price tag?
Twelve years and no problems for a butane lighter!? That is impressive!They are no doubt, the very best of the best! Enough said!!!
I have had one for over 12 years now, a simple chrome one, never a problem, still looks like new, works like a charm and holds a lot of juice as well.
I have the xikar old boy style. Don't like it- inconsistent flame. Wanna buy it?Without a doubt I am a lighter aficionado and I have over 30 of them of all kinds...single torch, double, triple and soft flame lighters out the wazoo! Different brands...Xikar, ST Duponts, etc. and the Corona is right up there with the best of the best and I use mine for cigars and pipes. Although I have an older unit I have my eye on this one....so close to closing on this for $140.View attachment 61779
As a follow up question....does anybody own the Xikar Old Boy lighter...same design and look but considerably cheaper...but it has the lifetime warranty like the Corona does....does the Xikar work as well because I'd much rather purchase theirs for $25 and have the same warranty if it does work as well?????
Sure...you wanna buy one of mine that doesn't work? lol Why don't you send it back and see if the next one is consistent? I love the idea of lifetime guarantee but if it doesn't work right...what's the use, right?I have the xikar old boy style. Don't like it- inconsistent flame. Wanna buy it?
I'll buy it off of you, or trade some sticks...I have the xikar old boy style. Don't like it- inconsistent flame. Wanna buy it?
Only $80!!?? There's gotta be a catch. Refurbished or something?Just info for the mind.. Not sure if everyone gets emails from eacarey but they have them on sale right now for awhile, even non-members get the members price right now
